Just like the title says. The reason I ask that is this is the first thing someone will ask me. Did you put drag radials on it? Or "are those drag radials" I didnt think the Nitto 555R drag radial was really that noticeable, but other people thats never saw my car notice it right away.

They always wanna know if it's a "ram air" or "WS6". Then they usually compliment on how clean it is (I don't drive it in the rain, and wash and wax it religously".

The fact it's an SS. Then starts all the foolish questions about if it's faster that a Z, how rare it is, how many "rice burners" have I raced, how fast have I had it etc......
